Senior Geotechnical Consultant

About Us

We are an agile and responsive engineering consultancy and trusted project partner, delivering intelligent, innovative design solutions for the built environment. Working across Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health (MEP), Civils & Structural Engineering, Earthing & Lightning Protection, Surveys, BIM, Energy Efficiency and Sustainability, we support projects from early-stage feasibility through to construction and completion.

By engaging early in the design process, we provide critical site intelligence, robust technical advice, and design assurance that helps de-risk projects and drive better outcomes. Our close-knit team of highly experienced engineers works collaboratively with architects, developers, contractors and end users, combining technical excellence with strong commercial awareness to deliver high-quality, buildable solutions.

With decades of industry experience, we are known for being proactive, dependable, and “on the ball” when it matters most—helping clients unlock innovation, streamline programmes, avoid costly delays, and reduce both capital and operational costs.
